Palácio do Correio-Mor is an imposing Baroque-era residence, consisting of a courtyard leading to a staircase and a building decorated in azulejos. The first floor is taken up by agricultural dependencies: a wine cellar, stables, and a kitchen decorated in azulejo tile (showing an undetermined figure, meat and fish).
